 You can’t beat getting something for nothing!
Unless you’ve been to Australia it’s not likely that you’ll have heard of QV Skincare for babies. It’s the Aussie’s favourite moisturiser and is often recommended by dermatologists there and is being launched here.
It’s was developed to help treat skin issues and maintain its health and let’s face it, if it can do the job under the fierce glare of the Aussie sun and their climate then it’s going to have no trouble with our UK skin!
They product range includes bath oil – which is great stuff in general, if you’ve never used it before then definitely try some if it’s included in the free samples!
There’s also cream in a tube, or cream in a tub, skin lotion and body wash if you really don’t like the idea of the bath oil.
I have no idea whether you’ll get a sample of everything or just some of the QV products but I’m pretty sure that they’re going to be up to the job of looking after and nourishing scrumptious delicate baby skin.
Thanks to pinkmelonsmr2 over at HUKD!

This is one shop that’s practically oozing great deals from tip to toe so why not get in there and sort out some Back to School shopping, nab some emergency home items, and a little pressie for yourself. And then laugh (hahaha!) as you don’t have to pay delivery on any of your orders over £10 for the next two days.
You will have quite a lot of fun ambling about the site in search of deals to take advantage of this great special offer. In fact, just eyeballing their home page makes my shopping fingers itch. You can get some fantastic bargains such as 60% off on perfumes, or a huge range of ladies’ shoes discounted by up to 80%.
Kidswear (including the Ladybird brand) has been marked down in some cases by 60% and so you should be able to sort some fabulous deals and get last minute summer clothes for low prices. I’m afraid that I just can’t keep writing this deal because I’ve just found some awesome odds and ends that I desperately need. See you online!
Thanks to andywedge at HUKD!

Kids love Hot Wheels. They have loved them for generations and there are no signs of this addiction slowing down. Girls and boys alike love to zoom these little cars about and take them along on long journeys as in-car entertainment. I am positive that there’s a secret place somewhere on the planet that has all the lost Hot Wheel cars living happily together.
The welcome pack includes some lovely goodies for the kids such as a little hot wheels car, colouring in pages, a CD with games on and a poster. Plus, kids are automatically entered into a daily competition to win other cars.
The pack itself will take around a week to arrive so perhaps keep it secret until it does, otherwise you’ll be plagued with cries of, “Is it here yet?” all week. The registration process is really simple and straightforward so it won’t take you very long to get sorted out either.

 Fancy getting yourself a free sample of some extremely useful NoteTabs that are repositionable sticky notes and tabs in one? Well, it’s as simple as clicking on the link below and then selecting the large Free Sample Tab, and then a trial set will be on their way to you.
These tabs are perfect for marking your files, books or documents and help you to find your page quickly and efficiently. They are durable enough to turn multiple pages at the same time and you can write on them, or highlight the see-through tab to avoid permanent marking of your document.
 I am constantly impressed by the innovations people make and these seem like a genius idea to me. The fact that they come in a wide range of sizes and colours and that they are sturdy enough to withstand rapid flicking through a document or filofax, is a massive bonus.
So go ahead, nab your free sample and let me know if they work as well as they claim.
Thanks to kippy at HUKD

Fancy nabbing a free book for you and a friend? Me too! I love books, especially free ones, and this is a stupendifantastic deal. All you need to do is register, enter a friends email address and get yourselves in the list for a freebie.
Ok, so this is how it works. Start out by entering your friend’s email address in a simple form. In the form you fill out your details and address, their details and then press send. DK will send an email to your mates asking them to sign up to the DK e-newsletter.
Once they have confirmed that they want to sign up, DK will send a free book to you, and one to each friend you nominated. You can nominate up to two friends and the deal ends on the 20th of August 2010 so HURRY!
The site makes no mention as to what kind of book you’re going to receive so I guess it’s going to be a nice surprise. I can only hope that mine isn’t going to be about the history of art, yawn.
Thanks to holly100 at HUKD!

 Sorry chaps, turn away and read another post now please. This one is juuust for the ladies. I’ve often moaned about how we have to pay so much for this kind of kit so whenever I uncover someone giving stuff away for free I’m on it faster than you can say, “Omar Sharif.”!
This range includes the Extra Dry Extra Long Natural liners, Extra Dry Normal Natural liners, and the Ultra Normal Natural with Wings. You have to register with the site in order to be eligible for your freebie and it will take around 28 days for delivery.
If you’re not yet a member of the site (er, not a site I’d have signed up for straight up if I am honest) then you’ll have to fill in a couple of details to get the ball rolling. It shouldn’t take you too long to get it sorted out and soon your  samples will be yours!
New Bodyform Natural Normal Liners with natural extracts of Aloe Vera and Camomile known for their soothing action and the neutralising of unwanted odours. They are extra absorbent to capture moisture and the soft super dry surface locks away moisture and odours giving you guaranteed security at anytime. And did I mention that they were free?

 Ok this deal is pretty awesome and I’m trying hard to see the catch. Vista Print are offering free customised cotton shopping bags for as long as stocks last in the UK. There are hundreds of different designs available and the process seems pretty quick and simple.
I am going to do this as I write so you get a hands on run down of how the process works. First off I chose an image from quite an impressive list. You can even add in your company name on the bag so you can promote your services! Awesome.
Ah, but here comes the catch. If you want to add your company name or do any advanced editing or use personalised images then you’re going to have to start paying. Never mind, a free bag is a good bag so just click on  the link that says Remove Sample Text and go with a chic little pic.
The back of your back is going to be plain if you want a free bag, anything else will cost you. Then just sign in or register and fill in your postal details for your scrummy free bag.

Ladies and gents I am on a roll this week! Freebies are being uncovered across the interwebs and here lies another delightful deal that will hopefully get you grinning. This free sample pack of QV products includes their amazing moisturiser that is number one in Oz (apparently).
All you have to do is fill in the registration form on the page and they’ll send you a free pack of yummy goodies. Please note that these can only be despatched to UK addresses, so if you live in Ireland then get a UK mate to send you one!
This bumper freebie gift has come about because QV are launching in the UK and are trying to get as many people involved as possible. You never know, these products may be better than anything you’ve used before.
In fact, I am dying to know what you mums with babies think of these products so, if you do order this freebie, then please pop back on here and let me know. It would be good to hear your reviews.

The other children in our lives, the little hairy barking kind, will love this great freebie. Bakers are giving away free samples of their Healthy Delights treats for dogs and you only have to register to get your own.
I know we are all about baby freebies, but sometimes those furry friends can end up costing us almost as much and every little helps. These delights look really yum, actually yummy enough for us to eat, so your pups should love them.
I remember listening to one of the Chris Evans’ drive time shows a couple of years ago when he got everyone in his studio to eat dog food. The premise was that, by law, dog food has to be edible by humans and they were going to see what it tasted like.
The show consisted of lots of groaning and you could almost hear them turning green as they shoved that cold stuff in their mouths. Personally, I won’t be doing that, even though these treats are free. But if you wanted to grab a taste of your freebie, well, I guess there’s nothing stopping you now.

Family life can sometimes be a little complicated and stressful. I know that, for a long time, I used to look at mums with two or more kids, swanning about looking all calm, and think that I was just awful because I was struggling so much with one. Well, it turns out that we all struggle at some point or another and it’s nice to know that there is free support when we need it.
The thing is, when you’re feeling spectacularly crap you need to speak to someone pretty much immediately. If you want help through other sources, you end up waiting for months and weeks before you get to speak to trained human being.
Well this site offers highly trained parents (yes! Parents!) who help people with big and small issues and help them to get through difficult patches. Everything is completely free and the site includes a lot of information that may help you straight off the bat, without having to talk to anyone!
Take a browse around, read comments from other parents, read articles on how people have dealt with tough situations, and feel better. Yes, because you deserve to be happy. We all do!
